Autologus Platelet Concentrate (APC) means faster healing

Where healing is important Dr. Barrett may use APC which contains enriched growth factors. APC can reduce bleeding, bruising, inlfamation, and swelling. It can accelerate bone growth and speed the healing process.



Ultrasound, the real time advantage

We utilize a high resolution ultrasound unit that shows soft tissue detail not available in x-ray. This improves our diagnostic options.



Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Focused sound waves can replace surgery in some cases. In cases of intense persistent plantar fasciitis where heel pain has not responded to conservative protocols, ESWT can be the answer.
